    Hi, my name's Kate. I'm super excited to start this challenge! I've been running for quite awhile but I keep finding that my right shoulder keeps cramping up while on longer runs. I'm hoping that strengthening my arms (and working on my core on my own) will help solve this problem. Here's to working on overall strength improvement and therefore faster running!

    Hello! I'm Jessica! I'm excited to participate in this challenge. My arms are definitely something I can improve upon, and with a strapless bridesmaid dress hanging in my closet to be worn in December, I'd love to get a head start on looking as fabulous as possible.

    Hello all! My name is Tanya. I am 41 years old and live in Central Florida. I am down almost 20 lbs this year but am shooting for some quicker weight loss by October 24th (20-30 lbs)....Going on a Cruise! This challenge is perfect as it will complement my other workouts and will hopefully tone up my arms for all those tank tops I want to wear on the cruise.

    Looking forward to Sept 1st with all of you!

    I'm really looking forward to this. "Use it or lose it" is so true, especially after 40, and I am so self-concious of my arms and wearing sleeveless shirts. Thanks for starting the challenge!

    Hey,

    Really excited to do this challenge. Love that it is really a build up of skills. I always overdo it and then give up because i am aching and have pulled something. I am just off a month long vacation so I really need to get into the swing of things and getting my arms tones sounds like an awesome start!!!!

    Thanks for the invite, Lauren! I'm looking forward to this challenge. My arms are so WEAK! I couldn't win an arm wrestling contest against a ten-year-old.

    All the girls on my mom's side of the family hate our arms. No matter how fit you are, you get the family arms. I didn't wear any strapless dresses or tops this summer because it just accentuates them.

    I would love to tone them up!

    Hello!
    My name is Sara.
    I have a condition called...

    Bingo wings.

    I have been on MFP for a few years but have been consecutively logging for 205 days as of today. In total, I am down 70 pounds and am looking to lose about 25-30 more. As of late, I have incorporated body weight exercises, free weights and machines to work all parts of my body. I joined this to kind of kick start myself and make sure I stay consistent to see results. If anyone wants to add me as a friend feel free to do so!

    Let's do this!

    I just have a question...now is it punching just one arm at a time or left right over and over again for the amount of seconds. from the image on the challenge sheet it looks like she pivots her foot and leans in so I wasn't sure. THANKs!!

    Hi I am Nikki. I joined this group for a couple of reasons. I will be having surgery on the 5th so I won't be able to do a lot of lower body exercises for a couple of weeks. Plus I have those awful floppy arms. I won't even wear a tank top because my arms are so ugly. I am hoping this challenge will get me some sexy arms. :)

    Hi all laura here and ready to do this. I am also doing the squat challenge too. Plus JM shred it with weights. Pushups are the hard ones for me. Looking for new friends too feel free to add me.
  • Hey there I am Jessica, joining a little late but I am ready for the arm challenge!

    Wow Laura Jean, that's going to be intense by the end of the month!! JM will definitely help with the arms and squats. I did a squat challenge that was over 200 by the end of the month, and it took a lot of time. You're awesome for taking on so much in one month!!
